Causes, incidence, and risk factors

Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas to control blood sugar. Diabetes can be caused by too little insulin, resistance to insulin, or both.

To understand diabetes, it is important to first understand the normal process by which food is broken down and used by the body for energy. Several things happen when food is digested:

A sugar called glucose enters the bloodstream. Glucose is a source of fuel for the body.

An organ called the pancreas makes insulin. The role of insulin is to move glucose from the bloodstream into muscle, fat, and liver cells, where it can be used as fuel.

People with diabetes have high blood sugar because their body cannot move sugar into fat, liver, and muscle cells to be stored for energy. This is because either:

Their pancreas does not make enough insulin

Their cells do not respond to insulin normally

Both of the above

Causes, incidence, and risk factors

There are two major types of diabetes. The causes and risk factors are different for each type:

Type 1 diabetes can occur at any age, but it is most often diagnosed in children, teens, or young adults. In this disease, the body makes little or no insulin. Daily injections of insulin are needed. The exact cause is unknown.

Type 2 diabetes makes up most diabetes cases. It most often occurs in adulthood. However, because of high obesity rates, teens and young adults are now being diagnosed with it. Many people with type 2 diabetes do not know they have it.

Gestational diabetes is high blood sugar that develops at any time during pregnancy in a woman who does not have diabetes.

Symptoms

High blood sugar levels can cause several symptoms, including:

Blurry vision

Excess thirst

Fatigue

Hunger

Urinating often

Weight loss

Because type 2 diabetes develops slowly, some people with high blood sugar have no symptoms.

Symptoms of type 1 diabetes develop over a short period of time. People may be very sick by the time they are diagnosed.

After many years, diabetes can lead to other serious problems:

You could have eye problems, including trouble seeing (especially at night) and light sensitivity. You could become blind.

Your feet and skin can get painful sores and infections. Sometimes, your foot or leg may need to be removed.

Nerves in the body can become damaged, causing pain, tingling, and a loss of feeling.

Because of nerve damage, you could have problems digesting the food you eat. This can cause trouble going to the bathroom. Nerve damage can also make it harder for men to have an erection.

Type I diabetes

In response to high

levels of glucose in the

blood, the insulin-

producing cells in the

pancreas secrete the

hormone insulin. Type I

diabetes occurs when

these cells are

destroyed by the body’s

own immune system.

Diabetic blood circulation in foot

People with diabetes are

at risk for blood vessel

injury, which may be

severe enough to cause

tissue damage in the legs

and feet.

Page 10: Why's diabetes dangerous

Endocrine glands Endocrine glands release

hormones (chemical messengers)

into the bloodstream to be

transported to various organs

and tissues throughout the body.

For instance, the pancreas

secretes insulin, which allows the

body to regulate levels of sugar in

the blood. The thyroid gets

instructions from the pituitary to

secrete hormones which

determine the pace of chemical

activity in the body (the more

hormone in the bloodstream, the

faster the chemical activity; the

less hormone, the slower the

activity

Page 11: Why's diabetes dangerous

Treatment Early on in type 2 diabetes, you may be able to reverse the

disease with lifestyle changes. Also, some cases of type 2 diabetes can be cured with weight-loss surgery.

There is no cure for type 1 diabetes.

Treatming both type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes involves medicines, diet, and exercise to control blood sugar levels and prevent symptoms and problems.

Getting better control over your blood sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure levels helps reduce the risk of kidney disease, eye disease, nervous system disease, heart attack, and stroke.

To prevent diabetes complications, visit your health care provider at least two to four times a year. Talk about any problems you are having.

Insulin pump

Various styles of insulin pumps

may be utilized by people with

diabetes to inject insulin into

the body in a controlled, more

convenient and discreet

manner.

Page 13: Why's diabetes dangerous

Glucose test

A person with diabetes constantly manages their blood's sugar (glucose) levels. After a blood sample is taken and tested, it is determined whether the glucose levels are low or high. If glucose levels are too low carbohydrates are ingested. If glucose in the blood is too high, the appropriate amount of insulin is administered into the body such as through an insulin pump.

Page 14: Why's diabetes dangerous

Insulin pump

The catheter at the end of the

insulin pump is inserted

through a needle into the

abdominal fat of a person with

diabetes. Dosage instructions

are entered into the pump's

small computer and the

appropriate amount of insulin

is then injected into the body

in a calculated, controlled

manner.
